Russia's Evolution of Nuclear Policy Since the Cold War
Russia's nuclear policy has evolved significantly since the end of the Cold War. Initially inheriting the Soviet Union's stance, Russia shifted to a lower nuclear threshold in the 90s due to its weakened military. Subsequent military doctrines in 2010 and 2014 outlined conditions for nuclear use only when the state's very existence is threatened. Strategic non-nuclear deterrence was introduced as an alternative, emphasizing conventional military strength.
